We have tried to make it here for the past few years. Last week we finally made it for lunch. My wife and I truly enjoyed the experience. I had the adult happy meal. The soup was hot, tasty, and the portion far larger than I could manage. The toasted cheese sandwiches were good as well. My wife's chicken pot...

My sister and I came here during our trip on a Thursday around lunch. This bakery has some restrictive hours but if you can make it in time they make it worth you while. Imagine my surprize when they were actually dressed like old-school friars.
There were only Six items on the menu but it is also a bakery so...

I just retired in June and have followed the Friars on Facebook for years. Because I was a teacher, I was never able to get here on the weekends we visited, so I was hoping that on this trip I would finally meet everyone and taste the great food. Unfortunately the baker was ill and the shop was closed. I...

My absolute favorite whoopee pie-I drive 50 miles each way once each year to get some. The bread and baked goods are exceptional quality. The sandwiches are filling and bargain. And the friars are always a pleasure to talk to.

Now I am someone who searches for great bakeries when I travel. To me there is nothing like a fresh baked goodie to make my day. I was excited to go here when I read the reviews, but then quite disappointed when I saw the selection and furthermore tasted what I bought. There were only a few items in the...

I recently dined here fr lunch with a friend on a Friday and had the opportunity to try a lobster roll. The bread was delicious and filled with fresh Maine lobster. We shared our table with others, as this restaurant offers communal dining. We ordered the special of the day, which was a lobster roll, chips and small whoopie pie...

The Friars take the cake--lunch here is an outstanding presentation of, well, whatever they've decided is lunch today! This is not only great food but a great time as there is nothing like them in Bangor.

Friars' Bakehouse is a small bakery smack in the downtown of Bangor, Maine. It is operated by the Franciscan Brothers of St. Elizabeth of Hungary. The baking brother is a master at his craft. Due to the fact that the establishment has only one baker and all of the baked goods are artisan, you will not find the variety that is available at larger thaw and bake bakeries. Hours of operation are Tuesday through Friday from 8:30 a. m. until 2:00 p. m. When the shop is closed, Friars' breads are available at the Fairmount Market on Hammond St.Friars' Brewhouse is a adjunct to but, separate from the bakery. The baker has branched out and is now creating artisan beers in the same manner that he creates breads and pastries. The actual Brewhouse is located on the 34 acre grounds of St. Elizabeth Monastery perched on the side of Orcutt Mountain in lovely Bucksport, Maine. NO BEER IS SOLD OUT OF THE FRIARS' BAKEHOUSE! We have teamed up with Bangor Wine and Cheese Co. on Hammond Street. All of our fine brews are available there on a regular basis. Stop in at the Bangor Wine and Cheese an say, "Hello!" to Eric and Christine.
